Question to those who have gone to DU meet ups
Do you call each other by your user names or real names?

1. Real names except for Laz and Haele
they even use their screen names in real life even though their first names are different

5. Haven't had that experience
but I have had extreme disagreements with some of the people I've met on some subjects. There was one guy I met wherein we had had some disagreements...it wasn't uncomfortable...now I also have to say..there are people on this site I wouldn't want to meet and therefore, I would be less likely to attend were they going to an event.

7. Skinner and Earlg asked why I called them by their DU names and...
..not by their real names.

I had to point out that if I said Dave there were 3 people in the room that would respond since they both have the same name AND GOPisEvil was also with us that day.

8. Where do these DU meetups take place? Never been to one.

And if I do go to one I forbid anyone to call me "Clarkie1."

12. Where are they announced? In the lounge? I usually hang out in
Edited on Sat Apr-23-05 02:30 AM by Clarkie1
GDP but it is much more laid-back and peaceful here.

This is the first time I've visited the lounge. A refreshing change.

15. Nope, I haven't done that.
Except for one person whose name is well known and often uses her real name here on DU.
